Two boys, aged about Is and II years
respectively, we're arrested by Officers
Thommason and Deitrick near the Wyo,
ming Meat c%ompany's packing establish
ment yesterday afternoon and lodged in
the city jail charged with theft. A trav-
cling telegraph operator informed the
officers that the boys, who bore every ap-
pearance Of being tramps, possessed two
gold watches. OF course this fact was
looked upon with suspicion and led to the
incarceration of the lads. They sighted
the officers before the latter reached
them and ran across the track in the
direction of the quarantine yards. Their
escape was assured until the policemen
encountered a team coming toward the
city. They climbed into the wagon and
continued the pursuit until the boys
halted from sheer exhaustion.
When brought into the marshal's office
the prisoners gave their names as John
Momdaze and Frank Lazar. The former
is a Spaniard, the latter a Portuguese.
Lazar, the younger and smaller boy, had
two good gold watches on his person.
The timepieces were probably stolen in
some more western city, as no one here
Identifies them. Young Lazar asserts
that he found the watches in Green River;
that he observed II man place them under
a culvert and appropriated the "tickers''
so soon as the individual who planted
them had departed.
The boys will be held awaiting claim.

been in Cheyenne since last Saturday and
to have spent the nights in barns and box
cars. Both say they have neither homes
nor parents.

A BAND OF BURGLARS.
Robbers Committing Depredations
Nearly Every Night.
Residence of E. Swan Kuren Visited
Yesterday Morning.
Two Boy Tramps Carrying Gold
Watches are Arrested.

Scarcely a night has passed since the
escape of the prisoners from the county
jail last week without the occurrence of a
burglary or attempted robbery. Such
boldness characterizes the intrusions that
the announcement of a genuine hold up
would scarcely create a sensation.
The gang which is at present depredat-
ing in this city cannot be a large one, but
the members are undoubtedly practiced
criminals, as they conduct operations after
the approved plans of bloodthirsty bur.
lgars one meets in works of fiction.
The city authorities have been and still
are engaged in the laudable undertaking Of
Kidding the own of suspicious characters,
until tramps are very scarce indeed and
residents have little to fear from this class
of criminals.
The latest enterprise inaugurated and
successfully prosecuted by the stealthy
individuals who sleep by day and prowl
about at night is the robbery of the resi-
dence of E. s. Van Kuren on Upper
Seventeenth street, which event occurred
at an early hour yesterday morning.
thieves entered the sleeping room of
the gentleman's two children yesterday
morning and stole the contents of a Jewel
case. The loss sustained foots up in the
neighborhood of 5000. Among the arti-
cles reported missing are two watches, a
pair of bracelets, several rings and other
jewelry. One of the children heard the
burglar ransacking the room, but was too
frightened to give the alarm. The boy,
who is about s years of age, apprised the
elder members of the family of the event
Immediately after the departure of the
thieves. Pursuit was impracticable at
this time as it was still quite dark, and
the flight of the burglars was uninter.
rupted.
The occurrence was reported to the
police at once and a list of the stolen
property made out. The officers will use
all diligence in their attempts to appre-
bend the guilty parties, and will doubt.
lessly effect their arrest at an early date,
though there is scarcely I tangible clue to
the perpetrators of the robbery. This
TACT does not discourage the members of
the city force, however, as it rarely occurs
that the injured parties furnish a descrip-
ton of criminals in reporting occurrences
Of this character.
This robbery was particularly audacious,
as an electric light shines brightly neal
the residence and a private watch man
faithfully patrols that section of the city.

schnaebele's Accomplices.

LEIPsIc, July 5.-In the trial yesterday Of
Klein and the others for completely i'll the
Schnaebele affair, Grebert one of the pris-
oners, denied that he had anything to do
with the affair. He accused Klein and Lauf-
enberger the latter government witness,
of being actuated by desire for revenge
against him, and of seeking to compromise
him. He accounts for The possession of
certain papers found on him, by saying that
he found them among a lot of old books and
prpers which he bought in a box at a second
hand shop.
The prosecution has closed its case. The
evidence is strong against both Klein and
Grebert. According to the sworn state
ments of the War Office authorities, the
prisoners divulged to the French govern
ment information of a character which
greatly endangered the military position Of
Germany The counsel on both sides will
begin their arguments tomorrow.

CLARENDON CONSUMED.
One Hundred Structures and Several
Oil Tanks Destroyed.

PITTsBuRG, July 5.--A special from Erie,
Pa, says the town of Clarendon in the up
per oil country on the Philadelphia and
Erie railroad, was almost wiped out by a
conhagration last night. Over 100 business
houses and dwellings, including Weaver's
Hotel, Logans Hotel and the post office
were consumed before ] o'clock this morn
ing and the flames were still spreading. The
town had no fire department and the peo-
pie were compelled to fight the flames with
buckets Of water. The conflagration start
cd at II 80 O'Clock last night in Weaver S
Hotel in the middle of the town and in an
old mill on the outskirts. 1t originated
from careless use of fireworks and reached
the oil tanks, and the destruction of the
town was speedily wrought.
CAUGHT IN BLAZING OIL.
John Stewart was caught in the bursting
of Il tank and was cremated.
1t is feared that many have shared SINH
lar fate
All the business part Of the town was de-
stroyed.
At O'Clock this morning Henry's Hotel
and the Philadelphia and Erie railroad
depot were burning. The buildings being
Of pine and hemlock, burned like tinder
The greatest excitement prevailed. The
valley was full of fire and seething oil, and
the people becoming panic stricken, fled to
the hillsides for safety.
TWENTY ACRES BURNED OVER.
The area burned over is about twenty
acres. The value of the buildings destroyed
is $350,000, roughly estimated, while the in
surance is small. 1t is estimated that 100
people are homeless tonight. 1t is now
well established that the fire was of in
cendiary origin. A public rumor at
Clarendon says that two weeks ago
when liquor licenses were refused to all ap-
plicants in Warren county Mahoney, pro
prletor of the Weaver hotel, threatened to
fire the town If the decision of the court
was not reversed IN two weeks This morn
ing after the fire had burned out the citizens
looked about for Mahoney for one of the
fires started in his room in the hotel but he
was not to be found.
FOUND IN THE WOODS.
A warrant charging him with arson was
sworn out and searching parties secured the
surrounding country to apprehend him. He
was found hiding in the woods six miles
from Clarendon, and because lynching was
was feared he was taken TO Warren county
jail A charred skeleton was found in one of
the rooms of the hotel, and it is supposed TO he
that of hack driver named Sullivan, who
is missing He was seen about the hotel
early this evening drunk.

RED FIRE ON MOUNT HOOD
OREGONIANS CELEBRATE THE
FOURTH IN A NOVEL WAY.

Two of the Party Spend the Night on
the Summit, and are the First Human
Beings to Have Done So-The nlumi-
nation Seen for Seventy Five Miles.
PORTLAND, ORE, July 5.-For the Fourth
of July celebration yesterday Portland un-
dertook and successfully carried out an un-
precedented feat in the way of fireworks. 1t
was not less than the illumination of the
summit of Mount Hood, the tallest snow
covered peak in Oregon, IL, 720 feet high.
This was done at exactly 1880 o'clock last
night, and the light was plainly seen in this
city, :. distance Of fifty one miles In astraight
line. The illuminating agent was 100
pounds of ordinary red fire. The task was
accomplished by William G. Steel, local
explorer of some note, assisted by Nelson
w. Durham, of the staff of the Oregonian,
and five others. The party left here Friday
morning last and camped Saturday night at
the snow line.
HARD CLIMBING.
From there to the summit the journey was
made on foot over soft snow in some places
and hard in others, where steps had to be
cut with hatchets, and two dangerous crew
asses crossed. Besides the fivo members of
the party had TO carry twenty pounds OF red
fire each in addition to their blankets. The
arrangements when they left here was for
two Of the party to remain on the summit
all night in order to touch off the fire This,
of course, they must have done, and it is
the first time that a human being has spent
tho night on the summit Of the mountain.
The illumination was also seen III Eastern
Oregon, at distance of seventy-five miles.
The party began the descent of the noun
tain this morning.

GAMBRELLs MURDERERs.
The Defense Uses Obstructive Tactics
from the Beginning.


JACKSON, MISS, July 5.-The case of
Hamilton Eubanks and Albrecht for the
murder of Gambrell, which was set for yes
terday morning, was promptly called, but
the counsel for the defense asked post
ponement until 4o'clock. On the reassem-
bling of the court the prisoners appeared
at the bar W. L, Nugent on the part of
the defense, presented for record a lengthy
plea in abatement, charging undue
influence and interference by District At
torney Miller with the grand jury while
considering the case and also on the other
hand with neglect of duty in the examina-
tion of a certain witness, that no Indictment
would have been obtained but for his per-
sistent obtrusion and appeals and prayed
that the proceedings be quashed in view Of
these facts.
A COUNTER DEMURRER
A counter demurrer was filed by the State
setting forth insutficiency in law of the plea
by the defense
The court sustained the demurrer.
The defense fled a motion to quash the
indictment, reciting at length the reasons
therefor, which were mostly because of
irregularities in the form of the indictment
submitted to the court and the appointment
of said jury, and for causes yet TO follow.
The motion was overrllled by the court.
A continuance of the case to the january
term was asked for by the defense, owing to
the position of the public mind.
The State objected to a continuance, but
asked for change of venue for the same
cause. The defense objected to a change of
venue if the case was not continued, and
that point was debated at length. The court
took no action, giving the defense till to-day
to produce good and sufficient cause for the
objections taken to the motion by the State
for change of venue.
THE ARGUMENTS RESUMED
In the Circuit Court this morning Judge
Wharton repeated his decision of yesterday,
refusing to grant a continuation in the
Hamilton, Eubanks and Albrecht conspir-
acy to murder cases, but said he would hear
further arguments. The entire morning
session of the court was oc-
cupied in discussion of this point and
the motion of the State to change the
venue. AT the evening session the court
rendered its decision, which was to over
rule the motion of the defense to postpone
the trial until the January term and sustain
the motion of the State to remove the causes
to another county. The defense requested
the privilege of naming one of the counties
proposed by the State, and selected Rankin,
the next preference being Madison or Copiah
| county. The seat of Rankin is Brandon, a
| small town of about 1900 inhabi-
tants, situated one mile from the
/ Vicksburg and Meridian railroad,
and about Is miles distant from jackson,
1t is in the district presided over by Judge
Mayors, and has for its District Attorney
Hon. Green B. Huddleston, previously EN-
ployed as one of the attorneys for the de-
fense. Under this ruling the cases of Ham
ilton, ct al, come up again about the first
week in August, when the court meets at
Brandon. The defense fought every inch OF
the ground, and took numerous exceptions
to the ruling of the court.
